Comment from nature rules
Lovely...the glass like water and the simplicity of color and textures of the Coot, plus the clarity in the reflection...make for a beautiful scene. You have captured it artfully! I enjoyed it very much!

A very nice shot with a superb reflection. I like the way you were able to get such nice detail in the eye which is so easy to lose in that dark plumage. The colors are excellent and the light on the water is outstanding.

A really great shot, the sharpness and focus on this is exquisite and the structure with the coot being central to the frame is ideal with no other distractions

Comment from VitaminCfarmer
Great shot of this waterbird with a fantastically clear reflection achieved. I feel the reflection is a little too close to the bottom of the photo, suggest next time try to balance the real bird and the reflection by giving both their own half of the space.
